My syzkaller instance reported a use-after-free bug in io_wqe_inc_running.
I tried fixing this by checking if wq isn't NULL in io_wqe_worker.
If it does; return an -EFAULT. This because create_io_worker() will clean-up the worker if there's an error.

If you want I could send you the syzkaller reproducer and crash-logs :)

Best Regards,

Jordy Zomer
